I think people who use bathrooms would tend to agree that the person who fills the TP roll they're about to use has the most important job in the world. Civilization simply could not survive without them.

On the "even more ashamed" front, I drove without car insurance for 18 months while making $10/hr as a CFI at DET and without working windshield wipers for 6 months (RainX is awesome). I also illegally lived in a storage unit for 45 days on my $7000 a year CFI income (showered at the gym). All true.

Ouch! As a fellow musician, I feel your pain. I had to sell gear to eat as well. I hope you got another rig!

What is she doing now ? Did she move on to airline or corporate flying position ? Come to think of it, most flying jobs would very likely be a demotion in pay for her. (To have that kind of scratch for an ambitious flight training program.)
Not an easy life. Would probably be happier flying. Its not something one can do till age 65 either.

Before the '08 crash some prices on strats were insane(30k-50k), but as the boomers get older, and as they(one way or another)pass their vintage guitars on to their kids, many in the (dealer) industry are saying their kids will be dumping them on the market, as they simply do not hold the nostalgia/other value to them that their parents/grand-parents did...as such, prices could drop pretty significantly, except(maybe)for the most rare.

I say this as someone who's owned a '64 Strat since '83..(:(...snooze you lose)
